Yeah, I seen those complaints. I use 8.10 drivers since they seem to
work the best for WoW and the 4870. During raid last night I don't
think I stuttered but maybe once and I never appeared to dip below 30
FPS. That's doing Mimiron and Gen. Vez (All we got left is YS)

Anyway, I run at 1920 x 1200 (max for screen) and mine range from over
100 to as low as 30 (like in raid) I know a lot of the performance is
out of my control (server load and the like) but I just hate skipping
around during a raid when I need to be as clean as possible doing max
DPS. If I am just outside, like in grizzly hills, grinding; I can have
everything up and shadows and get around 30 to 40. When I play Quake
4, maxed, the game is silky as hell.

I hate to get a new card when I spent as much cash as I did for the
ATI 4870 but would switching back to a nvidia make that much
improvement?
